Today's we are taking note and keen to take control. We want to keep active to stay healthy and get the most out of life. Strong bones & joints & healthy heart are vital to ensure that we can maintain an on-the-go lifestyle.

In general, aging causes stiffness in joints and decreased mobility. Worst case scenario is the onset of osteoporosis, joint inflammation or osteoarthritis which restricts movement and prevent the pursuit of an active lifestyle. The bone and joint health issue might be one of the non-life-threatening health conditions that affected our quality of life the most.

One of the roles of parathyroid hormone PTH is to make calcium available in the body. It does this by taking calcium from the bone. Therefore, a reduction in PTH levels following calcium supplementation may protect against calcium leaching from bone. This short study investigated the effect of Botanic Health on parathyroid hormone (PTH) and found that Botanic Health reduced PTH levels for significantly longer than either calcium carbonate or placebo.

It is known that post-menopausal women are at risk of bone loss. Therefore, the longer-term effects of Botanic Health on PTH levels in post-menopausal women were investigated.

Results / 结果 / Keputusan

The Botanic Health group had significantly reduced serum PTH levels compared to the other treatment groups at the end of the 3 month study.

The Botanic Health group also showed a tendency to have lower urinary deoxypyridinolone levels, a marker for bone resorption.
